Explanation: the mailbox opening is done now in threads. When new thread
is forked it checks if there is another mailbox opening thread active
and it quits if this is true - it blocks opening the same mailbox
twice. However, it breaks the -m option as you notice.

I initially thought that simple queuing on single mutex would do but
while it would fix "-m" option, it would break multiple open test. So
one needs to do it in a smarter way. I think the just commited patch
should work fine (give it some time to propagate to anoncvs).
